poppystamps Neighborhood Home Card…

Hi everyone! Cute card warning! This NEW poppystamps Neighborhood Home Pop Up Easel Set can be used for so many occasions.  I was thinking Congrats on your new house but ended up using the NEW poppystamps Whittle Scary Guys!  I’m glad they aren’t really scary.  (I’m not a big Halloween person)

I didn’t use the Easel part of the die set this time.  I used the house layer die to die cut a top folding card. I made a 4 ½ in. x 5 ½ in. cardbase and just kept the fold below the top cut line when I ran it through the Big Shot.

I colored the ‘guys’ with Copic Sketch Markers and covered them with glossy accents.  I put the pumpkin behind a window and the ghosts flying out of windows.  I love the curtains so I had to add them. lol

I stamped Happy Halloween on the inside from the Halloween Pumpkin stamp and die set.

I die cut the Boo Poe Script twice from white cardstock and once from Black Glossy cardstock.  Glued them together a little off so you can see the white behind the black.

Straight forward….cutting and gluing and an A2 size card!

I can’t wait to see what everyone else does with this die set.  I think it needs decorated for Christmas!

I still have some card kits for sale…info at the bottom of the post HERE.

Thank you so much for visiting my blog today.  I hope you’re enjoying some pretty almost Fall days! I can’t believe it!

Stampendous Santa Hugs Card and Tags…

Hi everyone!  So…..I fell in love with this adorable reindeer when I saw it!  Had to have it! lol  The Santa has grown on me too!  The sentiments that go with these dies are adorable too and have dies and make fun tags a long with being so cute on cards! Rudolph would be so cute by himself on a tag!

Here’s the inside…

Santa is a hugging machine with his arms open and used with these sentiments!

I made two tags with Holiday Hugs Sentiments Stamps and Hugs Accessories Dies. So many fun combos and add fun twine and Doodlebug colored clothespins!  CUTE!

Anything with a heart and postal!

Here’s some more photos of Santa and Rudolph!

I added some candy canes and peppermints from the Spellbinders Parcel and Post Christmas Decorations Die set.  Super fun smallish die set with holly, mistletoe and a bow too!

I took so many pictures of this card trying to capture the details.

I used the Art Glittering System Dries White Glue for the fluff on his hat trim and cuffs.  I wish I could show it to you IRL!

The pine branches are from the Spellbinders Winter Welcome Sled Die set.  An awesome die set for Holiday cards!

I love this Spellbinders In The Pines Embossing Folder too!  It’s big…use a half sheet of cardstock and get two A2 card bases in one shot!

I used some Gathered Twigs, Hickory Smoke and Lumberjack Plaid Distress inks to edge the die cuts.  Glue and mount to the cardbase.

The snow is just a torn piece of white cardstock.   Super fun card and tags!

Spellbinders Breezy Swing Small Die of the Month Club for August…

Hi everyone!  This is a change from the festive cards I’ve been posting.  I don’t normally do pastels so this is a real change for me! Such a dainty, lovely lady on a fine Summer day wishing you Hello!

The sentiment is a fun change from the ordinary also.  It comes separate so you can use it or not use it!

One of our granddaughters loves to swing…this might just be going to her.

I made it an A7 size so it gives the appearance of being clean and simple.

Decide what papers you want to use, die cut, glue and it’s ready to mail!  One postage stamp will do it! YAY!

I used Lawn Fawns Flower Market 6×6 paper pad for her dress and hat band.

I used the branch from the Sweet Birds on a Branch die set. Everything else comes in the set.

Hope she makes you smile!  Love the extra little details.  Spellbinders is really coming up with some amazing sets!

Learn about the Clubs of the month HERE and this particular Stamp and Die of the Month HERE.  Sign up window is from the 6th of the month to the 27th of the month!  Three more days to get in on this month!

Thank you so much for stopping by and I have some more Christmas to share real soon…as soon as I get pictures.

Memory Box NEW Fanciful Gilded Frame Two Ways…

Hi everyone!  Second card with the parts I glued up with the NEW Birch Press Design dies.  This time I used a NEW Memory Box die for the background.  Fanciful Gilded Frame.

The first thing I made with the frame though was this place card!  I looked at the die and thought, this could be folded in half and used for table decorations!

I made this in 15 minutes!  That’s a record make for me time wise!

Back to the top card…

I started the wreath by laying out the four large leaves I’d made from the Forest Leaf and Berries Contour Layers dies, top, bottom and both sides.

Then I added four of the Jolly Holly Contour Layers dies.

Then I went back to the Forest set and put in the four small dies, pretty much beside the holly.

Then I added the berries from the Jolly Holly dies.

I only had two of the small branches from the Oval Leaf Brances Contour Layer so I added them on the inside of the wreath top and bottom.

I cut up the Budding Twigs Contour Layers dies and inserted them here and there.

It looks complicated to me but laying it out like this, it went together fast! YAY!

It really turned out pretty if I do say so myself! lol  I never know! lol

I added some Memory Box Pastel Fairy Jewels in the light green color….matchy! lol

It’s an A2 size card and will go through the mail fine with one stamp! YAY!

Back to the pumpkin…

Do you do name cards?  We don’t because…big family!  I took pictures of this design without the banner too because I would more than likely use it more for a decorative piece here and there or maybe to put in front of a dish to tell what it is!

I love this pretty NEW Autumn Pumpkin from Memory Box.  The details are ‘built in’… die cut and it’s ready to go!  I did add a little Spiced Marmalade Distress ink with an ink blending brush but you wouldn’t have to!

I quick cut an extra pumpkin to back the pumpkin. View from the back….

I had this denim looking cardstock still out on the desk so I used it but you could use any Autumn color you like!

Here it is with the banner again.  I used the banner die from a poppystamps foil and cut die set, Modest Banner Greetings.

Both designs are festive and fun!  YAY for holidays!

One more thing….I made some kits for stamp club this month and I have three left.  Everything is die cut/included to make one card!   $15 includes the postage to you in the USA.  This is the card for the kit.   OH, I did use a white glaze pen on the icing, eyes and buttons and some blush on the ginger’s cheeks. That is not included in the kit.

Email or comment if you want one!

Thank you for visiting my blog today!  It’s so hot here this week, we had a couple really nice weeks, now it’s back to real Summer!  I hope to get a lot done in my stamp room where it’s nice and cool!

Here’s what I used for these projects…holler if you have any questions!

Birch Press Design Splendid Poinsettia Card…

Hi everyone!  I’ve been gluing and gluing so I’ll have a series of cards coming with the NEW Birch Press Design Dies for this release!  Yay for Christmas!

I have a lot of pictures of this one.  I even remembered the inside!  So this card is completely finished and ready for card sending season!

This NEW BPD stamp set is gorgeous!  It’s called Glad Tidings and the font is so so pretty!  My links to everything are below!

The front of this card highlights the NEW Splendid Poinsettia Contour Layers die set.

The layers go together so easily and so dramatic and detailed!  I love it!

Then I used some of the other NEW dies also, Jolly Holly Contour Layers, Forest Leaf and Berries Contour Layers, Oval Leaf Branches Contour Layers and Hillside Branch and Bramble Contour Layers.

I didn’t use all the pieces I made though so more cards coming in the future!  We’ll see how many cards I can make with the pieces I glued up.  There’s a video on Instagram showing them HERE.  It should come up even if you don’t have an account.

I die cut a piece of 6×6 plaid from the Memory Box Jolly Christmas paper pad with one of the Wrapped Scalloped Rectangles dies.  I used it horizontal and trimmed off the scallops on the sides.

I made a top folding A2 size cardbase.  Layered on the plaid rectangle and then the poinsettia with small pieces of the super thin mounting tape I love. I wanted to be able to add the pieces of greenery and leaves easily.

I love how it turned out.  The poinsettia is die cut with paper from the Memory Box Berry Red 6×6 cardstock pad. Then I inked the edges just a little bit with Distress Worn Lipstick ink and a mini ink blending tool.

There’s some dimension but I will mail it probably with an extra ounce stamp because of the Christmas Dewdrop in the center.  If you left that off, you could mail it normal because it’s under ¼ in. thick.

The warmest wishes sentiment is from the NEW Glad Tidings set also… I just love this set!

Then for that pop of white I used BPD Felicity Snowflakes on the front and on the inside.

Entering my card is some challenges…

Triple B August Challenge – use 1, 2 or 3 of the B’s … Birds, Butterflies, Blooms

Peace on Earth #45 – anything goes Christmas

The Holly and the Ivy #145 – anything goes Christmas

Addicted to Stamps and More #452 – anything goes Christmas

The weather kinda took a turn for us and cooled down today.  A little rain off and on…you can tell I’m from Iowa…they say we always talk about the weather! lol  I hope it’s enjoyable where ever you are!
